Thanks for the response, Thomas. Though I'll need a bit more direction, unfortunately. I connected the ethernet cable from my laptop to the tv, then went into setup > network and set the ip configuration to match what is displayed in my router for this tv: 192.168.1.6 and default submask 192.168.1.1 according to my settings in ipconfig. Where do I go to set my ip address on my pc manually?

I should note that I can go into Browse PC in the tv menu and see my media files from the laptop just fine after I enabled this in the Media Sharing permissions on the laptop. Since I can see these files, I'm assuming that the tv can see my laptop wirelessly just fine, but I still can't get Wireless Media Connect to display my laptop on the tv.

Sorry, I misspoke. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1. So, the steps I took:

1) Connect ethernet cable between tv and pc
2) Go to Setup > Installation > Network > Manual Network Setting > IP Configuration and set the IP setting mode to manual.
3) In the same menu, setting ip address to 192.168.1.6, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, default gateway is 192.168.1.1
4) In the pc, opened control panel > network and internet > network and sharing center > change adapter settings then right-click Local Area Connection and choose properties. Then click Internet Protocol Version 4 and click properties. Chose Use the following IP address and set it to 192.168.1.5, set the Default Gateway to 192.168.1.1, set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
5) Open Wireless Media Connect

Ok, I disabled my Norton 360 firewall and turned off my Windows Firewall. The PC icon is black and I'm seeing the same error when I click on Start Projecting.

Note: The wireless on my pc and tv are both connecting, so does the program know to use the ethernet instead of the wireless when trying to connect? Is there a setting I need to change on my tv to make it use the ethernet to connect to the pc instead of trying wirelessly?

Hi Patco,
The standard procedure when it comes to the indication light in front, is to test the power supply on in the TV. The easiest way to do this is to leave the TV without power for a while...
